Sanjay Leela Bhansali is smitten with Deepika Padukone!

So fascinated is filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali by Deepika Padukone’s beauty, that the director has dedicated his film to the leggy lass

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s forthcoming film Ramleela is in the news more because of the alleged link-up between the film’s lead pair –Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh! But it’s not just Ranveer who is an ardent admirer of Dips’ beauty. A little birdie chirped to us that in fact the director himself finds Dippy so beautiful that he has made the film as an ode to the tall lady.

While the film portrays a typical dramatic love story, the plot of Ramleela revolves more around Deepika’s beauty. The 27-year old actor is playing the most beautiful village belle in the film. Now, with the hero of this film Ranveer Singh already dating Deepika and the maker Bhansali showcasing his affection towards Dips’ impossible beauty, we think Ramleela will be the actor’s most romantic film ever!

We just hope that these overt lovey-dovey equations won’t be reflected on the big screen. If that happens, there will be an overdose of romance which our cine-goers won’t be able to handle. We hope SLB is listening!
